Her heart jumped to her throat. She was so nervous that her heart could leap out at any moment.
The three pirates started to shoot recklessly. Someone got injured in the process because the indigenous people got frightened and began to flee in disarray.
The weapons made of tree branches that the indigenous people held were no match for the pirates’ guns. The pirates searched the tribe, kicking over the tents and firewood.
They even harshly kicked aside some of the “Ah!!!” At this critical juncture, an alarming war cry came from the indigenous people.
They began to fight back against the pirates who attacked them.
The next second, the pirates cursed in anger and dodged the indigenous people’s ambush. Joyce and Nathaniel also breathed a sigh of relief. “Don’t kill them! There are too many of them coming.
Killing them will only anger them more! Let’s retreat first!” One of the pirates yelled. The situation reversed rapidly. The united strength of the indigenous people was beyond their imaginations.
The ones that had fled in all directions earlier took up arms and prepared to fight. They waved the clubs and spikes in their hands in a hostile manner at the pirates.
The pirates were reluctant to leave, but they had no other choice. Otherwise, they would not be able to get away if they ran out of bullets and got captured.
They ran away quickly, wounding several indigenous people along the way, while the rest of the indigenous people chased after them in a flurry… Joyce and Nathaniel looked at each other and sighed in relief, their faces still miserably pale.
They smiled in contentment for having just escaped from the clutches of death.
Nathaniel did not let down his guard and carefully scouted for the presence of any indigenous people.
“We’ll take a different path, so we won’t encounter any of them.” ) Of course, Joyce believed in Nathaniel’s expertise and immediately nodded in agreement.
The two of them were just about to leave when they suddenly heard a roaring sound in the air. It sounded a bit like a helicopter, but not just one. Tigger suddenly poked out of Joyce’s pocket.
“Someone hacked my tracker and started to use the satellite to locate my position. Mama, it could be Molly Stewart or Great God Maverick!”
Joyce almost cried when she heard those names. She wanted to jump up with joy.
“My brother is here!” She almost thought that she was going to die here! The countless heavy boulders piling on her chest almost made her unable to hold on! The rumbling noise in the air was endless as if they were calling out to them.
Joyce had never found the sound of a helicopter so pleasing to her ears. It was so sweet that it pulled her back from the border of death! It was her flame of hope, her light at the end of the tunnel! She ran twice as fast as usual.
Nathaniel was also very excited. He found another path in front and looked back at her as they ran. “Joyce, we’re going back together. You won’t leave me behind, right?” Joyce looked at him joyfully and smiled.
“Of course I won’t!” “After we go back, you can’t ignore me no matter what happens, okay?” “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of your fortune and glory for the rest of your life!” Joyce thought that Nathaniel was worried that she would change her mind and refuse to acknowledge him.
‘It’s just one man, so it’s certainly not a problem to support him! In a moment of excitement, Joyce did not notice what was by her feet and tripped on a tree branch. Her face instantly turned white with pain.
Nathaniel went up and pulled her up. “Don’t rush. What if it’s a trap? Wouldn’t we be running straight into it like this? Joyce shook her head, excited and confident.
“No, it’s not a trap. It must be my brother. He’s a genius with the highest IQ!” As long as they could locate Tigger, they would know that she was here! For twenty minutes, they ran with all their might.
Joyce fell several times, and the clothes on her body were ripped and muddied to the point where it was impossible to tell what they originally looked like.
Her white and slender hands were riddled with wounds and drenched with blood. It was quite a shocking sight. However, Joyce did not seem to care at all and did not cry in pain.
After running out of the jungle, the view opened up to a stretch of the beach. Three helicopters hovered there, their huge propellers spinning deafeningly.
There were also eight speedboats not far from the shore, each with six to seven tall and fierce men standing on board. They were all armed with guns and wore sunglasses as they stood on standby.
The sea breeze swept up the huge waves, angrily crashing against the rocks, solemn and chilling. The scene looked cold and serious, making people tremble at the oppressive sight.
The intimidating scene did not look at all like a rescue mission, especially when Joyce saw the three men in military uniforms standing closest to her.
Each of them carried a gun and stood there leisurely while smoking. A bitter chill rose in Joyce’s heart as fear burrowed into her bones! At that moment, the men looked at Joyce and Nathaniel, who had walked straight into their trap.
Their surprised and playful eyes revealed danger and coldness inside, freezing Joyce’s blood. The men started to laugh, which sounded brash and wild.
Joyce and Nathaniel’s faces were so pale as if they had just seen a ghost. Nathaniel’s hand that was holding Joyce’s trembled slightly. “P-Pirates!” Joyce tried to keep her cool, but her heart was beating frantically.
Intuition was always accurate. Just by looking at the three men carrying guns, she knew that they were the pirates who had chased after them earlier.
After they were driven away by the indigenous people, they waited here for their prey to jump right into their trap! In the end, Joyce and Nathaniel basically served themselves up on a silver platter.
Joyce stood there. Her mind was completely blank. Her heartfelt like it was immersed in iced water, and all she could feel was a bone-chilling fear.
She had never felt so much despair before. It was like a dark cloud was hanging right above her head. Joyce wanted to cry her eyes out.
‘Why? Why am I being tested time and time again on my desperation and survivability?! The three pirates threw away their cigarettes and exchanged a glance before unhurriedly walking over to Joyce and Nathaniel.
Their prey was already in their hands, so there was no need to rush. Joyce gritted her teeth and suppressed the fear in her heart. “Let’s run…” Nathaniel’s voice suppressed a tremor. “No, I’m scared. They have guns…”…”…”…”
As soon as Joyce heard this, she immediately dismissed the idea of turning around and running.
It would be too pitiful if they got shot to death from behind! However, what could they do if they could not run? The air was terribly cold, and the smell of cigarette smoke permeated with the fishy smell of the seawater engulfed them.
The three men were right in front of them.
At this rate, they would not be able to hold out any longer. Nathaniel was so scared that he began to tremble.
Although he was an explorer, he had never experienced anything like this before! Joyce was not much better, but when she saw the pirates approaching, her heart gradually calmed down instead.
Three men approached, two of them tall with strong bodies. The other one was a little shorter and thinner, but his face was cold, and his hawk-like eyes were the most terrifying of all.
He looked at her with a gaze that was intense and filled with greed. Although Joyce’s clothes were wretched, her beautiful and elegant features could not be concealed.
Noticing his gaze, Joyce glared fiercely at the slightly shorter and thinner man that was closest to her. The man let out a provocative sneer.
His cold and sinister eyes glinted with danger. He whistled and sized her up with a lewd gaze. The next moment, he raised the gun and pointed the cold barrel under her chin, forcing her to tilt her head up.
He looked at her like a vanquisher surveying his plunder.
His evil laugh as he joked with his companions was filled with coldness and greed. “Look, this woman’s quite a fetch.
We got ourselves a large haul this time…)) The men at the back laughed arrogantly and unrestrainedly in agreement.
Their eyes seemed to graze Joyce’s neck like the tongue of a venomous snake.
This was their territory, and Joyce was but their prey. The pirates on the ship in the distance watched this scene with great interest.
The atmosphere was tense.
They all knew that Joyce and Nathaniel could not escape.
Joyce’s body stiffened, but her heart settled down.
The howling sea breeze blew around her face.
